| The Paris Accord: Celebrated by Douchebags Globally |
Not
too long ago, I took the time to read through the much lauded Paris
Accord on Global Climate Change. Not just the overrated thirty-two
page signatory document that is shoved in front of your face every
time you Google "Paris Accord", even on Wikipedia. All 195+
pages of the actual meat of the matter took me a little over three
days of reading at two to three hours a day. (Thirty percent was
actual reading. The remaining seventy percent was deciphering
what the hell I just read.) That's six to
nine hours of my mortal life I can never get back again, and I want a
refund.
I've
read a lot of legal documents in my day, and never before have I read
one with so many caveats, loopholes, escape clauses, and pitfalls,
yet still be acclaimed as a magnificent artifact of human
cooperation. This thing is worse than a gym membership agreement and
a music club contract combined. The most ubiquitous statements made
in this remarkable examples of legalese horseshit reads like
this…
That in layman's terms says absolutely nothing except "We're going to accept your legalese horseshit statement about climate change."
That in layman's terms says absolutely nothing except "We're going to accept your legalese horseshit statement about climate change."
PERIOD!
NO COMMITMENT TO MAKE ANY CONCRETE CHANGES WHATSOEVER.
NOTHING!
NO COMMITMENT TO MAKE ANY CONCRETE CHANGES WHATSOEVER.
NOTHING!
So,
if Climate Change is such a grave threat to all life on planet Earth,
why do politicians keep telling you it is but then acting like it's
not.
Actions
speak louder than words, even when written in legalese!
We're
done with the bullshit… er… horseshit!
I
want a refund!
